You are welcome, bhaiya ♥️

Nope bhaiya, but it's always better to double check the IBA admission circular of your year just to be safe.

@@ryannafis8892 I will write a detailed guideline for you in this comment section asap. For now, start learning words from the vocab list in the website. More power to you. Godspeed!

@ShahAdaanUzzaman thanks a lot, I'll do as you've told for now. Thanks again!

I think it would be better to check the IBA admission circular of your year. And if you have any questions regarding eligibility, do not hesitate to directly call the given phone numbers in the admission circular.

😊

No, calculator is not allowed.

Yes, but always check the instructions on the question booklet. If you get confused at any point during the exam, don’t hesitate to ask the invigilator.

Bhaiya, I gave the email adress but nothing comes after that. How do I get the word list?

@ To access the word list, just enroll in the IBA prep course.

In my exam, there was a blank page attached at the end of the question booklet for scratch work, but I didn’t notice it at the beginning. So, before starting the exam, make sure to check the entire question booklet to see if any scratch paper is attached. However, when practicing at home, always solve the questions in the blank spaces on the same pages where the questions are printed. This way, if no scratch paper is provided during the exam, you’ll still be prepared.

Apu, I think it varies, but the written results should be released within a month, if I remember correctly.

Thank youuu so much! This truly means a lot to me ☺

Thank you so much bhaiya. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers ❤

Thanks a ton for your support!

Thank youuuu so much. Your appreciation means a lot to me.

Thanks a lot. This really means a lot. Ami chesta korbo asap at least vocab list ta accessible kore dite. I am extremely sorry for the delay. I am going through a bit of a transitioning phase in life: building a business in American market from scratch with very little funding and navigating the American consumers. Inn Shaa Allah, December er 1st week er moddhe publish korar best try korbo.

Hi, bhaiya! No worries. I understand your situation. So what you need to do is you have to catch the "low-hanging fruits." That is to say, things that are easy to master and can help you attain passing bars in all 3 subjects of IBA exam. For English- Firstly, Master Grammar. Make sure you are getting the grammar questions correctly. Because grammar is somewhat like math, right? If you know the rules properly, you can get it right. Grammar questions are less likely to surprise you if you know the question formats and grammar rules. So be very good at Grammar. Secondly, practice Reading Comprehension (RC) a lot if you are particularly struggling with vocabulary. Answering reading comprehension questions takes more time in the exam compared to vocab questions. This is why I didn't even read the Reading Comprehension question of my IBA exam. There were a total of 25 English questions, and 5 of them were RC questions with 1 passage. It's not because I am bad at RC; in fact, I think I am good at it. It was a strategic move. Because I was able to solve 20 English questions, and I know I have already reached the passing bar in English. Thus, I can't be greedy, and I have to move on to the next section, which was for me analytical. In my BUP FBS exam, I answered the RC questions though. But in general, I do not attempt RC questions first because they are long and time-consuming. However, two things to note here. One, in some IBA exams, you will notice there were 2 passages. So when IBA is giving you 2 passages, you have to at least answer 1 passage, in my opinion though it depends, to reach the passing bar in English. In the case of 2 passages, answering RC can become a must thing to do. Two, what if the vocab questions are super hard and you can't guess randomly because there are negative points for getting questions wrong! Then, you try to solve the RC questions. I know a lot of people who avoided vocab questions in their exams, but got the RC questions correct. Regardless, my point is being good at RC can be a game-changer for any IBA admission candidate. Practice as much as RC questions possible. Start with Manhattan GRE 5lb questions. Thirdly, I know it is daunting, but try learning words each day till your IBA exam. If you are really good with words, it can help you tremendously both in exam and in life. Best of luck. Bhalo hobe exam, Inn Shaa Allah. You got this!

Also, another strategic thing about IBA exam. If you are really struggling with English, or the English question is super difficult in the exam, try to at least reach the passing bar in English, and do incredibly well in Math and Analytical to raise your total score. Let's say at least try to get 15 questions correctly out of 25, which is 60%. But 60% is not necessarily the passing bar. For instance, I answered only 12 questions out of 25 in math, which is 48%. Your target should be 60%, but don't randomly guess to push yourself answering 60% because the negative points will penalize you severely. So no matter what you do answer CORRECTLY. *The number of attempted questions does not matter; the number of correct answers matters the most. Accuracy is everything for IBA exam.*

I will soon make the word list available from my website.

I apologize for the delay. I actually made the vocab list available on Notion last year, but it wasn't handy for a lot of students. That's why I decided to build the website couple of months back. I recently moved to New York, and now working on to build a business here in America - going through a lot 😔However, will try my best to publish it asap. Fingers crossed.

Walaikumus Salam, Bhaiya, First of all, you are definitely capable of getting into IBA, and I know you will, In Shaa Allah. Everyone feels that they didn’t study enough during their university admission phase-I also felt the same way until the very end. So it’s okay if you feel like that right now. I’ve been in your shoes as well. I know it feels like you’re perhaps not good enough to pull this off. But remember, this exam is all about confidence. Being confident is the most important thing you need to get into IBA. Even if you master all the content, it won’t matter unless you perform well on the exam day. As Rancho said in 3 Idiots, “keep your heart a fool.” Sometimes, making yourself believe in something helps. Manifest everyday that you will achieve whatever you are imagining. Secondly, it’s never too late to study. You still have enough time to prepare. Start by completing the minimum preparation. If you cover the min prep first, it will boost your confidence, and the way you’re feeling right now could improve as you progress through the must-know content for the IBA exam. Thirdly, don’t switch to any other admission preparation if you’re truly passionate about studying business, finance, or marketing. However, if you’re not passionate about studying business, then you should consider switching. But if you really want to study business, then give your IBA preparation your best shot. That said, make sure to keep backup options. Most students during the admission period fail to realize the importance of having backup universities. That means, if for some reason you don’t get into your desired university, you should have another university in mind where you could study. Since IBA has an extremely competitive exam and a very low acceptance rate (around 1%), even if you’re really good, you might still not get in. The odds are simply not in your favor (mathematically!). That’s why it’s imperative to think about backups. What most students do is try to prepare for both IBA and BUET or IBA and Medical together. While there are people who have gotten into both IBA and BUET or IBA and Medical, if your top choice is IBA (not BUET or Medical), then combining your IBA preparation with BUET or Medical preparation doesn’t make much sense. The content of the IBA exam and BUET/Medical exams are not remotely similar-not to mention the added mental stress and the huge volume of content required to prepare for BUET/Medical. Now, what could be the backup options for someone whose top priority is IBA (my top priority was also IBA)? Below is a list of backup universities for someone like us: Other Business Schools (IBA preparation will cover most of the content for these exams, except for General Knowledge): 1. BUP FBS 2. IBA JU 3. Army IBA Savar 4. Army IBA Sylhet 5. IBA RU Other Options (For these universities, you mostly have to study Bangla and General Knowledge additionally): 6. DU B Unit 7. DU C Unit 8. BUP FASS 9. BUP FSSS 10. Different Units of JU 11. Different Units of RU To sum up, you need to study five subjects: English, Math, Analytical Ability, General Knowledge, and Bangla. This is very doable. Most of the time, if you study all the previous years' questions from different universities, BCS, and job exams for General Knowledge and Bangla, along with the suggestions/books available in the market, you can do really well in GK and Bangla. This is what I did. I studied only these five subjects to keep multiple backup options. I took the Army IBA Savar exam first and got in. Then, I took the BUP FBS exam and got in. I even started classes at BUP and won the BUP Inter Varsity Debate Competition representing BUP (xD). After that, I got into IBA DU. Fourthly, take as many real admission tests as possible. The IBA DU exam should not be your first real admission test experience. I took the Army IBA and BUP exams not only to keep my options open but also to gain experience in a real admission setting. Best of luck, Bhaiya. I believe in you. You got this!

Will make a separate video on the written part. But please don't focus on the written part. It's super easy for everyone. The main challenge is the MCQ part, and if you don't pass on all the 3 subjects of the MCQ part, IBA won't even check the written section.

Definitely bhaiya. Unlike other admission tests in Bangladesh such as Engineering and Medical, IBA exam is not content-intensive. In other words, you do not have to study a huge volume of content like Engineering or Medical. The volume of content is much lower compared to other exams. It does not mean the volume of content is too low. It's relatively lower if we compare with other admission tests. Make sure you are taking the minimum prep: the content I mentioned in the video that you necessarily have to know. If you at least know the content included in the "min prep", then the exam becomes all about strategy: how effectively you can take the test.

No problem, bhaiya. Just study the resources I mentioned in the video. And I will soon be releasing all of my content for free from my website. Best of luck!

@@maruftaj1432 Will try my best to release all the content by December, bhaiya. Inn Shaa Allah.

I will soon make my grammar notes specifically made for the IBA exam available from my website.

@ShahAdaanUzzaman For now, just reading Toefl will enough?

@@TtuTata Yup. For now, go through either CLIFS or Barron's TOEFL.

@@ShahAdaanUzzaman I bought Mentors Math Q.bank. But Can't take Manathan Gmat strategy guide due to some financial problems. Now if I solve all questions of Q.Bank by understanding the rules myself. Will it be enough for me? What is your opinion? If not, I will buy it.

​@@TtuTata My suggestion would be to complete the Math Q Bank first. I will soon make all my IBA content available entirely free from my website (by next month Inn Shaa Allah). But if you can get the GMAT strategy guides and 5lb in the mean time, it would be great. Otherwise, after launching my website, you won't need any of them.

You can get Mentors' BBA Guide and MBA Guide or Saifur's BBA and MBA Question Bank for past year questions. Capstone probably also has one question bank, but I never used it. And Mentors' Math Q bank for only math questions.

@@wohmala To answer the first question, there are two things that you could do: 1. First, divide your preparation into minimum and maximum preparation. That is to say, first complete all the things that you necessarily have to know no matter what to at least get passing marks in all 3 subjects in the MCQ section. So in the first 2-4 weeks of the preparation, try to master all the content that is bare minimum - things that I have mentioned and identified as minimum prep in this video. After you have completed the minimum prep part, you will feel more confident about yourself. Then, you focus on the maximum prep. So in the first 2-4 weeks, make sure you are completing everything that falls under minimum prep. 2. Studying all 3 subjects everyday could be possible in an ideal world, but not in the real world (at least for me). There were some days I studied only vocabulary, some days I did only math, and some days I read only grammar. I am someone who does not have a fixed routine, and it worked for me all my life. However, I met people who function and perform best if they are maintaining a routine. Therefore, it's crucial to be self-aware: try to find out what works best for you. If having a fixed, rigid routine helps you to complete your prep in time, then religiously follow the routine. However, if you are someone who is somewhat irregular and does not like to follow any routine, and more importantly, prefers to study whatever he/she is feeling like studying at the very moment, then I would recommend instead of having a rigid routine, you can set targets for you to achieve within a period of time. So what I personally do is I try to set some targets for myself that I will complete within this week. This may look like- Week 1 1st 500 Words in the IBA High Frequency Word List Pronoun, Tense, Subject-Verb Agreement, Modifier: Grammar Number Properties, Statistics, Probability, Inequalities, Percent: Math 10 Puzzles 50 Critical Reasoning So what I do is I try to complete all these within 7 days no matter what. Even if I am studying less in day 1 of the week, I try to cover it up in day 2 or in the following days because I don't like the idea of having a fixed routine for a single day. So I divide my targets in weeks or periods, and try to achieve the targets of that particular week. To answer the 2nd question, I have 2 suggestions: 1. You can actually use past year IBA BBA and MBA questions as mocks. There are so many previous year questions. You can perhaps use 10 past-year questions as 10 mocks. You don't have to go anywhere. Using the past year questions as mocks/model tests is the best thing that you can ever do. 2. While using the past-year questions as mocks, ensure the following 3 things: A. Mimic the exam hall environment and condition. Do not think you are at home in your room. Think that you are in the exam hall and the stakes are higher. B. Give the mocks in the morning or when your actual IBA exam will take place. Let's say your real IBA exam is 10 o'clock in the morning. Instead of giving your mock at 5 pm, get up early in the morning and give the mock at 10 am. C. Use an OMR or bubble sheet for the mocks at your home. When we practice at home, we tend to write the correct answers in our copies. But in the real exam, they will give you an OMR. Just download any OMR or bubble sheet from the internet that has 5 options (A, B, C, D & E) because IBA exam gives 5 answer choices. Print it out, and give your exam in the OMR. A lot of students fail to correctly bubble or fill up the OMR. Therefore, taking mocks in OMR will prepare you effectively for the real test.

@@ShahAdaanUzzaman really really really thanks a lot vaiia.... Onk helpful silo aita..onk kiso niai confusion a silam... Onk onk dowa roilo apnr jonno..valo thaken..🤍🤍

@@wohmala Best of luck for the exam. You got this!

Will make a video on the written section, bhaiya. However, you don't have to worry about the written part. The main challenge is the MCQ part. If an exam candidate does not attain a certain passing bar on all the 3 subjects in the MCQ section, the written part won't be even assessed. Thus, my suggestion would be to entirely focus on the MCQ part for now.

Bhaiya, unfortunately, I never studied the Saifur's vocab book. So it's difficult for me to comment on that book. However, no matter which book or resource you are using, make sure that you have mastered all the words that have appeared in the past IBA DU BBA and MBA tests. I will make my IBA High-Frequency Word List entirely available from my website Inn Shaa Allah.

Alright bhaiya. Will make a separate video on BUP FBS, IBA JU, and Army IBA preparation. But remember that the preparation you are taking for IBA DU's English and Math will suffice your English and Math prep for BUP FBS, IBA JU, and Army IBA. This means all the things I have talked about for English and Math prep in this video apply to these other entrance exams. The only subject you need to study extra is General Knowledge for the other admission tests.

Certainly, bhaiya. I am currently working on building my website and making the IBA High-Frequency Word List completely accessible for everyone from there. I hope I will be able to make the list available by this month Inn Shaa Allah. Fingers crossed.

It is certainly a wise decision to go for an MBA after Engineering. An "engineering and MBA" combination will help you in 2 key ways: a) In some companies and organizations, having an MBA often facilitates promotion in the job. b) It can also expand your horizons beyond engineering as an MBA candidate learns managerial skills. However, going to a business school is not at all necessary to learn business or acquire managerial skills. My suggestion would be if you get into IBA (you will, Inn Shaa Allah - fingers crossed!), major in Finance, instead of marketing. Also, IBA's BBA and MBA exams are identical, so all the recommendations for the BBA exam automatically apply to the MBA test. The insights from videos or other resources for the BBA exam are equally useful for the MBA entrance exam. Moreover, while preparing for the MBA exam, solve all the past BBA questions along with the MBA ones. You will do incredible, Inn Shaa Allah. Best of luck!
